Abstract
A method of making a polymer having specific physiochemical properties by forming a first module having a structure which includes at least two structural diversity elements suitable to impart a desired physical property to a polymer which is made from said monomer; and reacting one or more modules to form a polymer having specific physiochemical properties. The base module can be formed by reacting a first compound having at least one structural diversity element and a first reactive group, with a second compound having at least one structural diversity element and a second reactive group, wherein the first and second groups combine by an addition reaction. Specifically, an aminimide compound, an oxazolone compound or derivatives thereof are useful as base modules in the invention.
Claims11
A method of making a polymer having specific physiochemical properties which comprises:
- forming a first module having a structure which includes at least two structural diversity elements suitable to impart a desired physical property to a polymer which is made from said monomer by reacting a first compound of an aminimide-forming compound having at least one structural diversity element attached thereto and a first reactive group, with a second compound having at least one structural diversity element and a second reactive group, wherein the first and second groups combine by an addition reaction;
- and
- reacting one or more modules to form a polymer having specific physiochemical properties.
A method of making a polymer having a desired water solubility which comprises:
- forming a first base module having a hydrophobic moiety attached thereto, the first base module having the formula ##STR107## wherein R and R' are the same or different and are alkyl, carboxylic, aryl or an organic moiety exhibiting hydrophobicity, and wherein the unconnected lines signify points of attachment for structural diversity elements;
- forming a second base module having a hydrophilic moiety attached thereto, the second base module having the formula ##STR108## wherein R and R' are the same or different and are alkyl, carbocyclic, aryl or an organic moiety exhibiting hydrophilicity, and wherein the unconnected lines signify points of attachment for structural diversity elements;
- and
- reacting one or more of the first and second base modules to form a polymer in a manner which is effective to control the addition of each module to a developing polymer chain until a polymer having a specific molecular weight, a specific length and a particular water solubility is produced.
A method of making a polymer having a desired water solubility which comprises:
- forming a first base module having a hydrophobic moiety attached thereto, the first base module having the formula ##STR109## wherein R and R' are the same or different and are alkyl, carboxylic, aryl or an organic moiety exhibiting hydrophobicity, and wherein the unconnected lines signify points of attachment for structural diversity elements;
- forming a second base module having a hydrophilic moiety attached thereto, the second base module having the formula ##STR110## wherein R and R' are the same or different and are alkyl, carbocyclic, aryl or an organic moiety exhibiting hydrophilicity, and wherein the unconnected lines signify points of attachment for structural diversity elements;
- reacting one or more of the first and second base modules to form a polymer in a manner which is effective to control the addition of each module to a developing polymer chain until a polymer having a specific molecular weight, a specific length and a particular water solubility is produced.
A method of making a polymer having a desired water solubility which comprises:
- forming a first base module having a hydrophobic moiety attached thereto, the first base module having the formula ##STR111## wherein R and R' are the same or different and are alkyl, carboxylic, aryl or an organic moiety exhibiting hydrophobicity, and wherein the unconnected lines signify points of attachment for structural diversity elements;
- forming a second base module having a hydrophilic moiety attached thereto, the second base module having the formula ##STR112## wherein R and R' are the same or different and are alkyl, carbocyclic, aryl or an organic moiety exhibiting hydrophilicity, and wherein the unconnected lines signify points of attachment for structural diversity elements;
- reacting one or more of the first and second base modules to form a polymer in a manner which is effective to control the addition of each module to a developing polymer chain until a polymer having a specific molecular weight, a specific length and a particular water solubility is produced.
